House For Sale £750,000
Drive down Holmfield Road, just off London Road or just off Stoneygate Road, to find this superb six-bedroom detached family home. This lovely red brick property sits just back from the road within its private walled driveway and rear garden. The current owners have lived here for many happy years, renovating and filling this home with love along the way. Built towards the front of its plot, there is off-road parking and a garage, along with some really interesting original features to explore...
Kerb appeal does not disappoint, and those first impressions when pulling onto the driveway are not misplaced. Lose yourself in the red brick charm and character-filled surroundings on your approach to the porched front door.
The property is well located for everyday amenities and services, including renowned local public and private schooling together with nursery day-care, the University of Leicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester General Hospital within a short distance. Within mere moments, find Victoria Park, Allandale Road and Francis Street, together with shopping parades in both Stoneygate and neighbouring Clarendon Park with their eclectic mix of shops, bars, boutiques and restaurants. The ease of access to excellent schools and a wealth of leisure, medical and recreational facilities provide all amenities at a stone’s throw. Transport links are excellent. It sits in the most sought-after Leicestershire postcode - and with Leicester city centre a mere three-mile commute, it really does have it all.
Enter the property through the original stained glass front door and to set foot in the spacious hallway. Tonnes of natural light floods through the space where original features and wooden floors flow throughout. The stairs to the first-floor lead from this airy hallway, giving a great sense of flow throughout this home. The spacious hall leads to the study, living room, dining area, family room and kitchen. A downstairs WC and access to the garage complete the layout. This home feels classic, retaining its sense of period and heritage whilst nodding to modern style.
The study to the right is bathed with light thanks to its box bay window. Imagine the library you could create in here, or maybe it could become an adults-only snug or home office?
The family room to the left is a sumptuously-sized room bathed in light courtesy of its floor to ceiling windows and French doors opening onto the rear patio. The feature fireplace and neutral colour palate strike the perfect balance between classic and modern styling, giving this room a sophisticated edge. It is comfortable, inviting and perfect for family time.
The living room, with large window and feature fireplace, is light and bright. There is plenty of room for furniture and entertainment systems, just right for family living all year round. Opening into the dining area then through into the kitchen, those open sightlines ensure that everyone can be kept an eye on – whether at family mealtimes or when entertaining.
Continue into the kitchen, where views over the rear garden through the large windows bring in lots of natural light, giving a spacious, calming outlook. This charming space features a full complement of quality appliances and a host of storage solutions wrapped in elegant units and worktop space. Practical flooring and those subway-tiled walls add to the aura of functional design – and the door to the garden keeps things open and fresh.
Returning to the hall, pop up the original wooden staircase to the first-floor landing. Here you will find four bedrooms (one with en suite shower room, two others with their own sink) and family bathroom.
Bedroom two is the first of these four double bedrooms, where the large window captures views out over the front of the property and beyond. The neutral decor is in keeping with the styling of the home, whilst built-in storage and plenty of space offer comfort and convenience.
Across the way, bedroom three has views over the rear of the property and beyond. More fitted storage, en suite shower room and classic design partner with room for a big bed and matching furniture for a fully on-brand finish. Bedroom four, with its own sink for convenience, shares those back garden views through generously sized windows, whilst bedroom five resides at the front of the property, also with its own convenient wash station.
The well-appointed family bathroom is able to accommodate the busiest of morning routines. Tones of blue and a separate shower sit alongside a four-piece suite and storage, ensuring that space is maximised without cramping on style.
Take the staircase round and up to the second floor where the master suite and two further rooms (ready and waiting to be whatever you choose – how about further bedrooms, a music room or a study perhaps?) can be found nestled in the eaves.
Dressed in more light, bright tones accented by original red brick features, imagine waking up to gorgeous views through the Dormer windows in the master bedroom. Freshen up in the ensuite shower room and make the most of all the ample walk-in closet and space under the eaves. This is the perfect space for some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of family life – either as a master or even a guest suite for visiting family and friends.
Step outside to further appreciate the composed calm nature of this great location. Relax on the sun-kissed patio or enjoy the low maintenance lawn, dappled with established borders and trees. Traverse to the rear of the plot where the secluded summer house, shed and serene moments can be found. The potential for this outside space is bursting with life.
Don’t miss out on the chance to own this first-rate family home with glorious garden!
